i thought he already pulled a 1.47 JD, with softing springs i don't see a reason he couldn't get a lower 1.4x

 

Oh really? I did not know it already went that good on the 60, I take back what I said then. Probably a low 1.4 then. It really shocks me that it went that good of a 60 with kind of suspension on a DR.

 

.......no. He pulled a 1.7 sixty foot.

 

So if I went to a Bias Ply slick, could I get into the 1.3' s?

I'll probably raise height, and soften the rebound, which should lower the spring rate and soften the suspension.

Either way, I think the car is capable of a low 10 and a 140mph trap if I race at close to sea level.

I was planning on driving to one of those nice tracks with a DA at or below sea level.

 

Good god man, being at sea level will probably make the most difference along with a good DR. What was your elevation before hand when you ran that 11.07? I do agree with the masses and say you may need more than one run, I'd say 5 should do the trick. I would like you to prove us all wrong and do it on one pass though.

 

IMHO with a 3.55 gear and the IRS a 1.3 is not attainable with your set up and would be hard even if you had a solid rear and 4.30s. a mid 10 sec pass is certainly possible for your set up IMO if you can pull a 1.5 60' which is realistic

 

AH musta been someone else...it's getting hard to keep things straight now that people are ACTUALLY going to the track

 

mid 10's 135mph 1.60 60"

 

You guys who think a DR is going to cut a 1.3 60 foot are way wrong. It would be hard pressed to do that even with a dedicated drag race suspension. I think he might go low 1.5's maybe high 1.4's on a slick, which will be enough for a solid mid 10 pass, with a really crazy MPH. In any case let us know what happens.
